Problem-Based Workshop on Autism Spectrum Disorder and Hearing Loss
Trainees prepared for the workshop by viewing a required webinar entitled "Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing" before the meeting. The workshop planning committee also recommended that trainees review the newly-established DSM-5 diagnostic guidelines and criteria exemplars for ASD, along with an ASHA publication about testing hearing in children with ASD.
At the workshop, participants completed - individually and as part of a small team - a Readiness Assurance Test (RAT) with five multiple-choice questions based on materials that should have been reviewed in advance. After a mini-lecture from LEND audiology faculty on the information covered in the RAT, teams worked through the case study in three parts: initial observation and family interview, additional assessment data, and interdisciplinary evaluation. Each part of the narrative had four questions for participants to consider and discuss. Teams reported out to the large group at the end of the workshop.
